Hibernate Newbie: Current data getting deleted

Complete hibernate newbie here. I've set up a small web app using hibernate, spring etc. This is all up and running and I can't see any issues apart from one (there always is eh)

When I first start the application (Tomcat 5.5) the current data that I have on the database table gets deleted ?? I don't want this happening but I can't find anything that tells me this is correct behavior or how to stop it ?
